Squatting Sex Offender Strikes

A 43-year-old sex offender was squatting in a vacant home on Wright Street.

Police said last month, he allegedly broke into a neighbor's home and is accused of sexually assaulted a woman who had been house-sitting.

The women awoke in the early morning hours to a man in her room.

Officers found the victim who had run outside.

Soon, they found Vallier Tompkins in his boxers.

He was booked on suspicion of several counts of sexual assault, burglary, coercion, preventing a victim from calling 911, false imprisonment, battery with intent to commit sexual assault and a warrant issued for parole and probation officers.

Authorities said Tomkins is a Tier Zero sex offender, which are offenders not assessed as having a high or moderate risk to reoffend …. hmmm …..
